Jackson Yupik. The most versatile kayak on the market.

One of my personal favorites! The Jackson Yupik is extremely versatile and one of the best fishing kayaks to rig up to your liking. The Yupik is best when paired with kayak accessories due to the amount of gear track placed on the kayak. The Jackson Yupik is considered by many to be one of Jacksons best fishing kayaks and its most customizable. #yupik #jacksonkayaks #kayak #kayakfishing #fishingkayak

The Yupik was built for my Newfoundland Orka, water rescue dog. The Yupik is the BEST kayak made for a large dog! The wide open even platform with no obstructions is perfect, with the low profile sides for jumping. Jackson extended this to the TakeTwo if you have 2 or 3 dogs you want to paddle with, along with 2nd person. A million kudos to Jackson for innovating and LISTENING to kayaker needs!

The open storage concept is wonderful! I love the idea of good paddling but lots of space for gear of any type, extreme utility ftw!

[BottomLineBassin]

It's a big dudes kayak, super stable and holds a ton of gear. I want another one so I can put a Newport on it. Nice work !

Very nice yak, I would certainly consider a Yupik from JK when I can afford to upgrade 😎 I really love how versatile it is and the aluminum tracks are very nice. I didn’t really think that I would like the idea of no hatch, but I love how open it is. Most of the time I don’t even use a hatch if it isn’t right in front of me. I definitely like the secondary stability too. Great video, thanks.

I'm glad I came across your channel, I've had my eyes on the unlimited due to being g a larger guy. I'll be fishing in Carolinas, large lakes, large rivers ( nuse river) and inshore. For the price and size it's seem the unlimited is hard to beat plus that swivel seat makes it stand out. From your experience for a guy @ 6'3 280 would you suggest the unlimited?

Love my Yupik. Got it at your Ozark MO location. Great boat, does everything pretty well

[MattStarkFishing]

First off, I love the channel. I’m an avid bass fisherman, and I own a bass boat, but the idea of being able to access smaller bodies of water is alluring. The problem is, there’s just way too many options. I am looking for a true fishing platform that I can stand up and fish on that has an open cockpit design that I can put a trolling motor with a foot pedal controller to mimic the feel of my bass boat. My question is, does the Yupik accommodate a bow mount? In an ideal world, some wood would make a 10 foot kayak that my 6 foot 200 pound frame can stand in and allow me to operate with a foot pedal controlled trolling motor. That way I could pick it up throw it in the back of my pick up truck and go. Is there such an animal? The Blue Sky Boatworks (Jackson) looks amazing but it’s too big to haul without a trailer.

Nice overview. I debated getting the Yupik as a fly fishing kayak due to the wide open platform. But ultimately went with the lighter option--in overall weight and on the wallet--Bite Angler. But I'd like to upgrade to a Yupik at some point.

I purchased a paddleboard a few years bag and ended up strapping a seat on it and using it as a Kayak. Looking back i should have gotten a Kayak. I don't fish but I like to spend time paddling around the lake with a cooler and my dog. I have been going down rabbit holes on the best kayak for this type of situation and this one might just fit the bill. If you have any suggestions for the leisure kayaker that would be great.

I personally would like to see you do a bit longer video comparing the Yupik and Nucanoe Unlimited with what is better than the other and why in your opinion. I'm not as tall as you but but am in the same weight range and a lot of comparison videos are doe by these skinny guys who don't have as much weight moving around as we do when leaning. I really like the idea of the swivel seat but as a newbie with some weight and age on me not sure about the stability.

Just found your channel - really enjoy the videos and information!

How would you compare the Yupik and Bite to the Crescent Lite Tackle II? Thanks

[MysticalDragon]

Nice video overall. I'd not really considered the yupik before. Looks like an interesting concept. I can see where the open layout could be handy when carrying alot of gear or oversized gear. Nice seeing the bite in the background too. I need to stop looking at boats since I'm at 6 already.

[jcksnjy]

Good morning, I’ve paddled a friends Frontier 12. How would you compare the stability of the F12, Bite & Yupik? Thanks. Where is your shop located?

[rjc]

I have a dealer near me selling their 2023 yupiks for a little over 1200 and at that price point I am having a hard time deciding between it or the crescent litetackle 2. I will be fly-fishing primarily and was wondering what would be best. Hard choice

[kevinclark]

How does the Yupik paddle on flat water? Is the hull efficient or does it take a lot to get it going?

[corbslusher]

Looking to upgrade my kayak, this one was recommended to me for multi night kayak camping trips.Need something for river paddling with some rapid sections. Im looking at this one or the Ascend 12t strictly for the open deck storage..I realize JK is a lot higher quality so thats where Im leaning at this time.Any inout would be greatly appreciated.

6' 1" 298 POUNDS... Put this on this list or pass? What Jackson's should be on my list for my first kayak?

[danschulte]

Do you know of a motor mount adaptor that will work for a trolling motor on the transom? I see the one on their website but I have a feeling that bolt pattern is universal. I'd like to get a 30lb motor rated for salt so I can crab in the bay sometimes. Also - do people just find old dairy crates for behind the seat?

[robertmaddox]

No Rudder? How well does it track when paddling?

[trentwalker]

Is the Bite or Yupik more stable? Primary stable that is.
